[Verse 1]
A E A
Here of late I feel so strange I'm happy and I'm sad
E E7 A
The way my feelings are sometimes I think they'll drive me mad
A E A
A pretty little girl with frizzy curls came here a week ago
A A/B A/C# D E A
To work upon the tel -e- phone, And sh'said, hello, hello
[Verse 2]
A E A
Hello, hello, her sweet hello, her voice like music rings
E E7 A
It's sweeter than the whippoorwill, that in the moonlight sings
A E A
As the bell boy here at this hotel I'm always on the go
A A/B A/C# D E A E A
And then she'll ring that telephone, and say hello, hello
[Verse 3]
A E A
I haven't spoken to her yet, I've been in such a daze
E E7 A
Although sometimes she looks at me, with a sort of a distant gaze
A E A
That I feel so weak, I cannot speak, my heart is beating so
A A/B A/C# D E A
And then she'll ring that telephone, and say hello, hello
[Instrumental]

A E A G# A C# D E A
[Verse 4]
A E A
I see her as she walks along in sunshine and in rain
E E7 A
I can hear her midst the jangle of the elevated train
A E A
I'd buy for us a little place where honeysuckle grow
A A/B A/C# D E A
She could meet me at the garden gate and say hello, hello
[Verse 5]
A E A
In about a year, she married me and then we settled down
E E7 A
In a pretty little bungalow not very far from town
A E A
At night as I go home from work my heart is beating so
A A/B A/C# D E A
She'll kiss me at the door and say hello, hello, hello
